Building in the open
How we pay for what we build.
Agent One is free for every American. Here is who pays instead, what is hard, and where you can check.
The short version
- What Agent One costs you
- Nothing
- Who pays instead
- Puppy One buyers, businesses, Fund A
- What is never for sale
- Your data, attention and contacts
Who pays
Three ways we earn money.
🤫 Puppy One
You can buy the computer your agent runs on.
Businesses
Companies and institutions pay for the tools and services they build on Agent One.
Fund A
The founder's fund pays for the research while the rest grows.
- Agent One is free for every American.
- We never sell your data, your attention or your contacts.
- Every access to your data leaves a receipt.
What is hard
Five problems, and our answer to each.
- Earning trust
- The protocol is public, and every access to your data leaves a receipt.
- The cost of AI
- Most work runs on hardware you own. The cloud is used only when it is needed.
- A small team
- We build a few things well rather than many things badly.
- Regulation
- A certification we do not hold is marked in pursuit until we do.
- Big platforms
- We use open standards, so you can always take your data and leave.
